• wherein the water dispenser is configured such that:
• when the axle is supported on the front side support portion, a lowermost surface of the caster is located at a same height as an outer bottom surface of the casing;
• when the axle is supported on the rear side support portion, the lowermost surface of the caster is located higher than the outer bottom surface of the casing;
• and
• when the drawer is slid out of the lower portion of the casing, the caster collides against an object in the sliding-out direction so that the axle is moved from the front side support portion to the rear side support portion.
